Greek islands under 10000 people

Greek islands under 10000 people are where you start to get a bit of everything—enough infrastructure to feel comfortable, but still far from the crowds of the big-name destinations. Islands like Milos, Naxos, and Paros hit that sweet spot, with proper towns, great food scenes, and plenty to explore, without losing that laid-back island feel.
